PreferencesΒΆ
The preferences node contains all the Guerilla options. Note that the Local Settings are saved on the local machine, and the other options are saved in the document.
Local Settings
The Local Settings are saved into the local machine registry/configuration file.
Local Settings / CPU
Threads
Number of threads to use by the renderer. If this value equals to 0, the renderer will use one thread per logical core available on the local machine.
Max Threads
Maximum number of threads available to the renderer.
CPU Affinity Mode
How to bind each render thread to a cpu. "floating" : bind the threads to any cpu. "fixed" : bind each thread to a single cpu. "numa" : bind each thread to a single numa node.
Cache LLVM
Enables compiled shaders caching.
Local Settings / Directories
Local Environment
Additional environment variables available to the user, a list of KEY=value tuples separated by newlines. Those variables are used in replacement for paths when matched, and can be used to specify output paths for images and intermediate rendering files.
Temp Directory
Path to the temporary directory. The directory is used to store temporary files used by the renderer, and is cleaned when Guerilla Render starts or stops. When left blank, defaults to the user's temp directory on Windows and /tmp on Linux.
User Library
Paths to the user library directories, a list of paths separated by newlines.
User Plugins
Paths to the user plugins directories, a list of paths separated by newlines.
Local Settings / Interactive
FrameRate
The maximum frame rate of the interactive renderer.
Minimum Samples
The minimum number of samples to be displayed.
Viewport Proxies
Force texture proxies in the interactive viewport. When enabled, the viewport uses texture proxies for the Surface shader, to reduce the texture loading and memory while manipulating the scene.
Render View Proxies
Force the use of texture proxies in the interactive Render View.
Local Settings / Interface
Default Layout File
Path to the UI Default Layout.
Snapping Distance
Allowed distance when snapping to vertex/edge/face in viewport.
Mouse Control Mode
Changes between different kind of mouse controls.
Right Hand Lookat
Forces the camera panning/orbiting/zooming to always keep a right hand consistent matrix.
Orbit In Parent
When orbiting the camera in the viewport, use the camera parent space as a reference for the up vector.
Console Config File
Specifies the location to the console configuration file. If left blank, uses GUERILLA_CONSOLE_CFG environment variable, otherwise uses $(GUERILLA)/console.cfg.
Enable Lua Debugger
Enables the Lua debugger in the console. Requires to restart Guerilla Render to take effect.
Recent Files Count
Size of the "Recent Files" entry.
Cache Manager
RAM Resource Amount
Fraction of the system RAM dedicated to the resource cache. Resources include textures, geometries and acceleration structures. The default value is 0.75
Disable Geom Cache
Indicates if Guerilla Render caches the geometry acceleration structures for the Raytracer.
Texture Manager
Auto Build Textures
When enabled, the GUI builds the missing .tex. When using bitmap texture files, such as tiff, png or exr files, Guerilla builds the .tex file if it is missing. Keeping this enabled usually makes it easier to deal with texture files. Disabling this requires you to build tex files by yourself.
Licence
Licence File
Location to the licence file.
Server Name
Name of the licence server. If a licence server is specified, the licence file is ignored.
Server Port
Port of the licence server.
Shortcuts
Shortcuts File
Location to the shortcuts file.

Assigned Command
Currently assigned command to the above shortcut.
Low Quality Render
Samples
Number of samples in low quality rendering.
Stereo
Enables stereoscopy for all passes.
Pass Size
Divides the size for all passes.
Local Settings / OpenGL
Screen Gamma
Changes gamma correction to apply. This setting corrects the images displayed in the viewport, the render view, the color picker and the color boxes. The displayed color (R,G,B) will be transformed in (pow (R, 1/Screen Gamma), pow (G, 1/Screen Gamma), pow (B, 1/Screen Gamma)). Default value uses the project's gamma.
Available VRAM
VRAM available on the OpenGL card. Use this option to set the limit of the VRAM gauge in the tool bar.
Render To Texture
Enables rendering the viewport to a texture. Use this option for large scenes that are slow to display in the viewport.
Local Settings / OpenGL / Stereoscopy
Mode
The stereoscopy mode to use in OpenGL.
- Disable : No stereo display.
- Anaglyph : Colored anaglyph display. Works on every monitors.
- AnaglyphBW : Black and white anaglyph display. Works on every monitors.
- Interleaved : Interleaved display. Left and right cameras are interleaved over the scan lines. You need a special stereo interleaved monitor to use this mode.
- SideBySide : Use the two outputs of the video card. The left view is drawn on the left monitor and the right view is drawn on the right monitor. The two monitors must share the same desktop.
- QuadBuffer : Use the NVIDIA Quadro quad-buffered stereo support.

Low Quality
Degrades the rendering quality using the Low Quality Render settings. See Local Settings, Low Quality Render.
Write EXR Data Window
When enabled, writes only the non empty image region of an EXR file. It has been reported that some Adobe products may fail to read such EXR files. In that case, uncheck this local settings on every computers rendering EXR files.
Sequence Name
Name of the sequence when submitted to the renderfarm, or the project name if not set.
Render Distributed
Number of computers to use for a single frame on the renderfarm.
Render Threads
Number of threads to be used on the render farm.
Render Parent
Renderfarm parent job to submit sequence to.
Render Range
Range to use for rendering passes/animation. Accepted values are comma separated subranges. A subrange is a colon separated set of integers for first frame, last frame and step. Last frame and step are optionnal. E.g. 1,10:20 for frame 1 plus 10 to 20. 2:5,10:14:2 for frame 2 to 5 plus 10, 12 and 14 (step 2). An empty string means the whole timeline.

Priority of the project when submitted to the renderfarm.
Render Time Out
Timeout used to kill the render farm server, when a whole job is taking too long to complete, in minutes.
Render Missing Only
Indicates if it should render only missing frames when submitting to batch/farm. If checked, it will skip all frames for which all output files are found (but it will NOT check for the actual frame integrity).
Compressed Rib
Enables the compression of generated Rib files.
Deferred Rib Gen
Enables the generation of Rib files directly as a pre-rendering job
Rib Gen Batch Size
When Deferred Rib Gen is enabled, the rib generation is batched by the number of frames, 0 means no batching.
Bake Procedurals
When enabled, force the baking of all procedurals, notably the implantation of HairAndFur procedurals. Baking procedurals allows automatic implatation baking of all procedurals, which can be problematic if there are a lot of procedurals in the scene. All implantation data are reset and rebuilt in a prerender job on the farm except implantation in Read mode. This option implies the Deferred Rib Generation.
